  i want to make a big callout post about the overwatch pride not being available in certain countries while it's there in other games but i fear it won't get the attention of people beacuse most can access it without any problem...

  @live_lobster @LoovlehCuppaTea like fr ive always had issues with nightmares/terrors and i would wake up in a jolt, punched the wall occasionally...one of those holes was made from an overwatch dream.

  @tazalotl1981 @NigelMcKinney Most of the time it's not possible to vet people properly, so a stringent overwatch of these people needs to be implemented, if they want to enter they should have no problem giving finger print and DNA samples

  I’m going to crash out from the queue times on overwatch. This isn’t the first time I’m complaining about it. Istg if the game doesn’t rise from the dead and get some people into my games I will go insane.

  Unfortunately I have having issues with my Overwatch 2. I need to update the bios for my PC, I will have to do this tomorrow but at the same time I will have to cancel stream for tomorrow. I'm sorry to anyone that was looking forward to the playing with viewers OW2 stream ToT

  @Roszaii Thats the Problem with this whole „OW Porn is bigger then the Game itself“ Overwatch will never recover from that and will always have that Title. Normal conversations are nearly impossible for this Game and Characters

  @EFlexMusic @Pirat_Nation Nah. Overwatch has a lot of porn but its not like everyones playing it. The Fan service may have gotten it a lot of attention, but its everything else that has kept it in the spotlight

  Anyone having trouble joining an overwatch game? I tried two times in qp and my screen froze, then I tried arcade and it worked but the server kicked us out cuz “there wasn’t enough players” HUH??

  @KurtJP35 I can a guarantee they saw the success of Overwatch since this happened in 2017 and pivoted because of that. They truly are scared of doing their own thing and would rather chase trends in service of making more money

  @ceroeit Thank you! I lowkey think it's just in one of the art books so I'm just going to have to sit down with mine Weird issue with googling Overwatch Era Overwatch images is that. That's the. Name of the franchise. So it doesn't work

  @KUMA_BEARR @FroggerOW you never played the PVE Blizzard made that **** was garbage. Stadium is great but naturally has issues that will be fixed over time. people like you are the reason Overwatch still has a somewhat negative outside perception and ruin the fandom

  @BbEunjiX @Greenpig117 @chu_ddino for overwatch. you answered your own question. you’re acting like battle net takes up a ton of space or is super inconvenient to launch 💀 i’m not uninstalling and reinstalling the game that works perfectly fine on the platform i’ve played it on for years when it’s a non-issue

  Kevin Nogilny (@CookiesAndPilk) reported 39 minutes ago

  @CalamariSteven @JoshLavis @Splitgate Overwatch cosmetics carried over to Overwatch 2. It's not unreasonable to think a free to play live service game's entire means of keeping players financially invested in the game should have some carryover when the developer migrates over to a new free to play live service...

  @CY4N4R4 I think that's one of my issues with Overwatch right now, there's no actual new content and I reached a point in my life where Skins don't matter to me and I hate the cash shop and how scummy it is, but at least Fortnite has new events and modes alongside is cash shop.

  @Blizzard_Ent please fix your game? I've been suspended enough times because of your servers. It's ruining my experience of overwatch 2

  @aaronkellerOW please fix matchmaking for Drives. It is truly the most miserable Overwatch experience. Drives are the only time where I have ever hated the game.

  one of my favoomfs… you are very interactive, and you have very good taste in the things u like!!! i think we r fairly similar.. we share interests and it’s very cool……. sorry my tv broke whilst we were playing overwatch (it’s still broken fyi, i had to get a new one.)

  @ForcadoUALG @PaulTassi @Forbes This is a whataboutism. Marvel Tokon isn't even out yet. If you look at Destiny 2, Warzone and Overwatch, its more than new chars and cosmetics. Its new modes, new levels, seasonal stories/themes, limited time content. Just having DLC is not = live service

  @KingKaiCUCOO @RivalsLeaks personally it feels bad to play compared to Overwatch (let’s say it’s a direct competitor), maybe cause it’s 3rd person or cause of the performance issues but it does not play anywhere near as smooth as Overwatch does

  @Pirat_Nation And I'll double down in not caring about any of Sony's live service games, until they make something more interesting then another Apex Legends, and Overwatch clone.
